What are some interesting plot ideas for a Harry Potter apprentice fanfic?

One idea could be an apprentice learning advanced potions from Snape. They might discover a new potion formula together. Another could be an apprentice in the art of defensive magic under Moody. They could learn unique spells and how to counter dark magic attacks.

One idea could be a young wizard from Hogwarts being secretly recruited by a Sith Lord. Maybe they discover a hidden connection between the Dark Side of the Force and some of the darkest magic in the wizarding world, like the Unforgivable Curses. The wizard, as a Sith apprentice, could then start using Sith powers alongside magic, creating a whole new kind of chaos in both the Star Wars and Harry Potter universes.

Well, an interesting plot could be that the apprentice is sent on a secret mission by Grindelwald. On this mission, they encounter a magical creature that has the power to change loyalties. This makes the apprentice question their place by Grindelwald's side. Also, the apprentice might find a hidden diary of an old wizard who was once in a similar position, and through reading it, they start to see the flaws in Grindelwald's plans.

One idea could be that the apprentice discovers a new type of wood with extraordinary magical properties. For example, a wood that can channel the magic of multiple elements at once. This could lead to a race among dark wizards to get their hands on wands made from this wood, and the apprentice has to protect the secret of its origin.

Yes, often there are unique plots. For example, the apprentice might get involved in secret alchemy experiments Flamel was famous for. They could discover new magical potions or spells, and have adventures in the wizarding world that are different from Harry's main story in the original books.

One idea could be a crossover where characters from both universes meet. For example, Harry Potter could encounter Eragon and they could learn from each other's magic systems. Maybe Harry could teach Eragon about some of the more complex spells in the wizarding world, while Eragon shows Harry how to bond with a dragon in a more in - depth way.

You could also create a plot where a character who thought they had no connection to the Potter heritage suddenly discovers they do. This revelation could change their entire life. They might have to deal with newfound magical abilities that come with the Potter bloodline, and also face the enemies that the Potter family has made over the years, like some die - hard Death Eaters who still hold grudges.

A great plot idea might be a Craftsmith who is actually a descendant of an ancient wizarding family with long - lost spells and abilities. This Craftsmith uses their skills to recreate those spells and in the process, uncovers a plot by dark wizards to use these forgotten magics for evil. As the story unfolds, the main characters have to stop the dark wizards while also learning about the new and old magics.

One idea could be exploring what would happen if a new, mysterious student joined Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament. This student could have a hidden agenda related to the Dark Arts and start influencing the events of the tournament in unexpected ways.

One idea could be that the orphanage is a hidden place for magical orphans with special powers. The orphans form a secret society within the orphanage to protect themselves from dark wizards who want to use their powers. They learn magic on their own, using old books they find in the attic of the orphanage.
